God’s love is like the colors green and gold. Not a Green Bay Packers’ fan? That’s okay. Hear me out! Since moving to Green Bay, I’ve learned that green and gold go with every other color. Did you know that? No matter what other colors you’re wearing, green and gold go perfectly with them. Blue nurses scrubs? Green and gold looks great over the top. A blue suit with a shirt and tie for church? Throw a green and gold jersey on to complete the outfit. Maroon work uniform? Red and white Santa outfit? Both match perfectly with green and gold. This makes it easy to decide what to wear. No matter what you’re wearing, adding green and gold over the top is a perfect finishing touch.
Just like God’s love. God’s love is like the colors green and gold. Listen: “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:14). If Christ-like attitudes are like clothes, then love is the color of clothing that matches everything else. Practicing patience today? Put on some love to go with it. Humbly but boldly confronting someone’s sin? Do so in love. Sharing or defending your faith with that skeptical coworker? Throw some love on top. Addressing conflict at work or at home? Adding love to the conversation will go a long ways. As a football fan finds ways to reflect her favorite team’s colors with every outfit, may Jesus and his love bind your outfit together today.
